These are some great stats!
But I would like to note that exploded repos (or source-git repos) have at least two other advantages.
- they consume less space than tarballs for each version because
objects in git repo are deduplicated
But they consume tons more inodes which makes them painfull to backup/restore/mirror.
But maybe still less painful than to do this with upstream tarballs? :) I guess it depends on average number of upstream releases per package. If the number is 1, then for sure tarballs will win. If the number is, let's say closer to 10, the storage size difference might be already quite significant to make the above operations harder.
